PART C – DECISION UNDER APPEAL
The decision under appeal is the Ministry’s reconsideration decision dated June 28, 2018 which held that all of the
appellant’s Canada Pension Plan Disability (CPP-D) benefit entitlement must be deducted from her disability
assistance because her voluntary tax deduction is considered income and there are no permitted deductions or
exemptions for it.
PART D – RELEVANT LEGISLATION
Employment and Assistance for Persons with Disabilities Regulation (EAPWDR), Sections 1, 9, 24 and 29
Schedule A – Sections 1, 2 and 4
Schedule B – Sections 1, 6 and 7
PART E – SUMMARY OF FACTS
The Ministry was not in attendance at the hearing. After confirming that the Ministry was notified, the hearing
proceeded under Section 86(b) of the Employment and Assistance Regulation.
The evidence before the Ministry at the time of reconsideration was as follows:
•
The appellant is a sole recipient with Persons with Disabilities (PWD) designation, whose file has been
open since July 11, 2016
•
Until April 2018, the appellant received $1,245.42 disability assistance per month, consisting of $758.42 for
support allowance, $375.00 for shelter allowance, $52.00 for transportation supplement and $60.00 for
alcohol and drug supplement. In addition she has received $642.75 CPP-D per month since November
2017, which has been deducted from her assistance as unearned income
•
A Service Canada data match reported her April gross benefit as being $642.75; consequently the Ministry
deducted $642.75 from her assistance. The appellant had declared $300 to the Ministry as her net April
CPP-D benefit, as she had voluntarily requested that $342.75 of the $642.75 gross benefit be withheld to
retire back taxes owed on a lump sum benefit payment received as a result of a divorce settlement and to
offset taxes owed at the end of the year
•
A monthly report for the month of May 2018 and a copy of a Service Canada data match report for the
month of April 2018
•
The appellant’s Request for Reconsideration in which she states that she started receiving CCP-D in
November 2017, including some back pay from which no tax was deducted. There was also no tax
deducted at source for her monthly CPP-D benefit until April, when she voluntarily asked for $342.75 to be
deducted from her $642.75 monthly benefit
At the hearing, the appellant provided further clarification on her circumstances and Request for
Reconsideration. She stated that:
•
She recently received a CPP-D lump sum benefit through a divorce settlement. The lump sum was for
the retroactive years of 2013-2014 when she was living in another province and not collecting any
assistance. No tax was deducted from the lump sum. She had to give her ex-husband 50% of the lump
sum, however she is paying 100% of the tax on the lump sum
•
The lump sum was paid to her at the end of November 2017. She deducted this amount as unearned
income from her assistance, which meant she didn’t receive any of her assistance that month
•
A couple of days later into December 2017, she received her first monthly disability pension payment
from CPP-D. Normally, this payment accompanies any lump sum paid out on the same day. Due to an
error with CCP-D it was issued a couple of days later. She then declared this second sum as
unearned income from December and for a second month in a row did not receive any of her
assistance
•
The appellant maintains that she has declared all gross CCP-D income since she began receiving it,
and the Ministry is calculating her assistance based upon that gross amount rather than the net after
voluntary tax removal income
•
In her reasons for Request for Reconsideration, the appellant notes that “as of 2003 there is a tax
exemption” and in her Notice of Appeal she quotes the website that this exemption is listed
on:
https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/governments/policies-for-government/bcea-policy-and-
procedure-manual/eligibility/income-treatment-and-exemptions. The appellant provided a copy of the
following excerpt from the website at the hearing. The website details the following:
“CPP Tax Exemption. Effective January 2003, there is a monthly tax exemption on gross CPP income for
eligible clients. The amount of this CPP tax exemption will be automatically calculated by the system. The
CPP tax exemption is based on a formula that estimates the monthly tax liability for each client, and
replaces the CPP adjustment supplement. The maximum CPP tax exemption is $100 per month. This
maximum does not apply to clients who are compensated via imprest cheque for their tax liability on
retroactive payments assigned through the ISP1613 process. Clients will be responsible for all tax
liabilities arising from CPP income received in 2003 and subsequent years. Clients must declare all gross
CPP income on their Monthly Report (HR0081).”
The panel accepts the introduction of a copy of the “Tax Exemption” information from the B.C. Employment and
Assistance Policy manual, which was mentioned in both the Request for Reconsideration and the Notice of Appeal
as evidence in support of the appeal.
The appellant maintains that the Ministry has not applied this “Tax Exemption” to her situation and that the amount
the Ministry is deducting from her assistance each month is much higher than the legislated $100 limit.
The panel makes the following findings of fact:
-
Beginning in April 2018, the appellant’s monthly assistance has been reduced to reflect the
voluntary tax deduction by CPP-D of $342.75 she set up with Service Canada
-
The appellant has reported her CPP-D benefits since she began receiving them in November 2017
-
The monthly amount of disability assistance calculated under Schedule A of $1,245.42 is not in
dispute
PART F – REASONS FOR PANEL DECISION
The issue before the panel is to determine the reasonableness of the Ministry’s reconsideration decision dated
June 28, 2018 which held that all of the appellant’s Canada Pension Plan Disability (CPP-D) benefit entitlement
must be deducted from her disability assistance because her voluntary tax deduction is considered unearned
income and there are no permitted deductions or exemptions for it. This decision was based upon information
submitted for the appeal and the legislation contained in the Employment and Assistance for Persons with
Disabilities Regulation (EAPWDR), Sections 1, 9, 24 and 29, Schedule A – Sections 1, 2 and 4, and Schedule B –
Sections 1, 6 and 7.

The appellant stated in her Notice of Appeal that the Ministry worker did not understand the issue that she wanted
to appeal. She states that she is disputing the tax portion, not her CPP income. She also states that the wrong
legislation was applied to this appeal and provides the website www.gov.bc.ca and the document title “CPP Tax
Exemption” as the legislation she feels pertains to this dispute. She states that the exemption has not been applied
to her case, nor was the $100.00 limit. She also believes that the treatment of gross vs. net unearned income has
been mismanaged.
The ministry’s position is that “all CPP benefit types are considered unearned income. Amounts withheld at source
by Service Canada are also included as income. The only exception is amounts deducted by Service Canada for
prior CPP overpayments”.
The panel finds that the ministry considered the “CPP Tax Exemption” policy in the appellant’s situation as per
page 3 of the Reconsideration Decision dated 07/16/2018 and determined that it did not apply to the appellant as
per section 7(e) of Schedule B as she is not required to pay tax on the monthly CPP-D she is receiving and her
income falls below the taxable threshold amount determined in the Income Tax Act. The exemption relates only to
any tax liability on the monthly amount and in this case there is no tax liability on the monthly benefit. The appellant
has chosen to have a portion of her monthly CPP-D benefit she is receiving deducted at source for a prior lump
sum payment that was high enough to incur tax and there is no exemption on voluntary deductions.
The panel therefore confirms the ministry’s decision to deduct the voluntary tax deduction amount the appellant
pays to retire the tax owed from a previous lump sum payment from her monthly assistance. The appellant is
unsuccessful in this appeal.
